CRYSTALLIZED GOLDEN SYRUP

CRYSTALLIZED GOLDEN SYRUP!!!

Not a problem. Let's rescue our syrup.

There is no need to put it in the dustbin.
Simply heat your golden syrup up in a pot without stirring until all your crystals have dissolved.

Pour your golden syrup into a sterilised glass jar & seal properly.

Careful that you don't burn as your golden syrup is very hot.

Leave to cool and there you have it.
Your new uncrystallized golden syrup.

BOLO DE CACO

These delicious buns are so yummy and NO they are not English muffins. These muffins are made like your basic bread dough but they are bake on a griddle pan. I absolutely love these delicious buns. I use to buy these muffins at our local fruit & vegetable market until one day to my shock they didn't sell them anymore. I was so dissapointed & asked the manager why they didn't supply these muffins anymore. I was told that the baker had gone on pension & they didn't know how to make them. Well, after persuation I asked them to give me his number. Relentlessly they agreed and I phoned him. He was not willing to share his delicious recipe. However he gave me the name of this muffin as they were sold only in a plastic bag with no name. He revealed to me that they where called Bolo de Caco originally from the Island of Madeira. He got this recipe from his friend who lived there. Well, I jumped on the inter...

KOEKSISTERS

This week is one of South Africa's favourite treats.Koeksisters are almost like a baklava but with a doughnut texture made with yummy sugar syrup & not honey. These lovely treats are found everywhere in South Africa. You can get different types of koeksisters but I prefer the old fashion one. People have started putting out recipes where the koeksisters are now with different syrup flavours like rooibos thee, cinnamon etc. Also people have become lazy and they don't plait their koeksister anymore but just give it a twist or they make little balls with them. I prefer the old fashioned plaited koeksister as it just gives it a beautiful finish. My recipe was given to me by my mother in law. The original recipe is really a long process where you have to make your syrup the night before & refrigerate it for the next day. The syrup must be ice cold before you can use it. My syrup can b...

BREAD PUDDING FROM BELGIUM

This bread pudding is one of my mothers recipes. My mom told me that in the war the people use to gather old bread to make this bread pudding so that they had something edible to eat. Obviously it wasn't made so fancy like we do it today but you get my drift. She use to always just make the bread pudding without any measurement and it always came out 2 different ways. The one way was like a cake like texture whereas the other way was my favourite which I am sharing with you now. It took me a couple of years to figure out why the recipe was always different. When I use to ask my mom how she got it so dense she didn't know. She use to say she just makes the bread pudding out of her head & with the ingredients she had. One day I was on holiday in Brugge and there in one of the bakeries was my bread pudding I liked. You can only find the cake like bread pudding and not this dense one. I asked my sister in law what made this bread pudding so diffe...
